Summary:Various sources of food fibers (FF) were compared for efficacy in correction of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders induced by diabetes mellitus type II (DM). The diet containing citrus pectin (CP), wheat bran (WB), lignin-enriched bran (LEB), cellulose pulp (CP) was given to 100 diabetics with hyperlipidemia. Follow-up measurements were made of basal and aftermeal glycemia, cholesterol and triglycerides, immunoreactive insulin and glucagon levels in the serum of the patients before and after 4-week dietetics. The results showed a hypocholesterolemic effect of CP and hypoglycemic effect of WB. The findings urge differentiated use of FF when correcting carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in patients with DM type II.
